Should MAX-8 training include a physical fitness component?



There was a video circling around of pilots flying the MAX in a simulator, and reproducing the failure conditions; they were unable to physically hold the trim wheel to counteract the system.


It absolutely should, so that only strong men can possibly pass. Then, since this is absolutely sexist and prevents female (or less-strong men) from flying the plane, either the plane should be non-certified, or Boeing should have to pay full lifetime salaries for any not-strong-enough pilots who want to file a claim that they can't fly this plane.
